The Tax Dispute In q nutshell.
sfphiladeIDhia Record.

There is not a human being who can
not live without whisky and tobacco,
They are uRnecessaries luxuries. On
the c0iltrary, men, w0mef and child.
rem must be fed, clothed, housed and
warmed. These are necessariea to liv-
ing.
The so-called protectionists want free
whisky and cheap tobacco In order that
they may keep up the prices Of cloth
ing, food, coal and lumber.
The revenue reformers Rish to re-
tain the tax on whisky and tobacco,
knowing that only those who use them
nay the taxes on them. At the same
time they desire to put an end to over
taxation BY reducing the taxes on nec-
essaries, the most important Of which
are the taxes on raw materials wood,
hemp, jute, iron ore, coal, lumber and
dye stutIs.
The tax dispute in asnutshell Is: Isit
best to have free whisky or free wool.

over the inharmonious Executive Board
of the knights Of Labor Of the general
assembly was settled, at least tempor-
arily, this afternoon by a vote Of the
assembly, leaving the offices as they
are. 1t is pretty well understood how
ever, that this is coupled with de-
mand for the resignation Of Messrs.
Barry aud Bailey Of the Board. Unless
compliance is prompt there is danger
of trouble coming to the front again.
A resolution indorsing every act of
Mr.. Powderly and the General Execu-
tive Board was introduced and adopted.
Now the hope among the delegates Is
that the convention will adjourn

To Assist Nature

In restoring diseased or wasted tissue is
all that any medicine can do. In pull
monary affections, such as Colds, Bron-
chitis, and Consumption, the mucous
membrane first becomes inflamed, then
accumulations form in the air-cells of
the lungs, followed by tubercles, and,
finally, destruction of the tissue. 1t is
plain, therefore, that, until the hacking
cough is relieved, the bronchial tubes
can have no opportunity to heal.

lincoln at the War Department.

From ''RecollectIons of Secretary
Stanton" by a clerk of the War De-
partment, in the Century, we quote As
follows: .'In the days of which l
write, Mr. Lincoln was a particularly
woe-begone figure. twas one of those
periods of the war when the whole
situation. military, financial, and pOlit-
ical, was one of almost unrelieved
blackness. He spent hours at Il time,
shut up with Mr.. Stanton, all business
aud speech mainly being put aside, SO
far as outsiders could judge, while
these lonely communions lasted. Was
it not the gloomy autumn days of
1864, that the fearful Secretary had in
mind, when he spoke those pathetic
words as'he took the hand of the just
expired President: sAh, dear friend!
there is none now to do me justice;
none to tell the world of the anxious
hours we have spent together! Even
before the autumn, had well set in, Mr..
Lincoln had begun to enwrap himself
IA the familiar plaid shawl, and, with
his hat pulled well down in front, he
would sscurry along the halls of the
War Department, and into the re-
tirino-room of the Secretary, noticing
and speaking to nobody. At times he
would sit in the retiring-room with the
door open between that and the apart
ment in which the Secretary, walking
about as was his wont, was transacting
business with the departmental officers
and clerks, or visitors, prolonging his
course, every few minutes, into the
adjacent room, to hold converse with
his chief. 1t was an interesting and a
pleasant sight, that of Mr. Lincoln
seated with one long leg crossed upon
the other, his head little peaked. and
his face lit up by the animation of talk
ing OF listening, while Mr.. Stanton
would stand sidcwise to him, with one
hand resting lightly on the back Of the
| chair III the brief intervals Of that ever
lasting occupation of wiping his spec
tacles. But if, while in such proximity,

In the White House.

If people think that the President is
not sociable in his official prison life in
the White House they do not know
him. He is warm-hearted and COM
panionable in his hours of leisure from
the routine drudgcry of his high place.
He is fond of his friends and always
has good deal of company. As .
bachelor friend or two at dinner was
Il regular. occurrence, to which he now
often adds the friends of Mrs. Cleye-
land. The President is also Il good liv-
er. His greatest fondncss is for game
in season. Chef Perrin resented with
an emphasis which looked as if he
might seize the nearest skillet and
bring it down upon the offending pate
when the buckwheat scandal of the Ex-
ecutive kitchen which went the rounds
OF the press in the early days of tbs
Administration was mentioned.
'sMe makee buckwlleat cakes, pan
cake deble noir? Never, sir, vile l am
here. lie President never eat buck
wheat cake from me-"
Then, Hsing with sort of Marsel-
laise-hymn enthusiasm: Il see. That
Dutch cook. Yes, yes. Maybe he
make buckwheat cake. France, no.
Germanee, yes"
The, Presidential buckwheat cake
threatening to become an international
issue, the chef tempered his national
aversion for Die Wacht am Rhine" by
cooling off in the pastry kitchen with
the mercury sizing up to 110. degrees.
The gastronomic economy of the Ex-
ecutive Mansion in the diurnal revolu-
tions of that portion of the earth's sur
face over which the President of the
United States governs represents three
cpochs: Breakfast at 9 a. m., luncheon
at 80, and dinner at Z p. IN. The
chef who makes the life of a President
allimentally speaking, joy, and thus
maybe a benefactOr, begins the day
with Il breakfast of three dishes--fish,
steak, and eggs with coffee. He di-
vides the day with luncheon of cold
meats and broiled, small, feathered
game in season. He makes his tri-

fee. Since his marriage the President
has fingered longer at his meals and
enjoys life in his domestic circle, even
if the prerogat,ves and proprieties of SUI
preme rank do debar him from many
of the little joys and diversions of his
fellow-mortals.-W Washington Letter.

Singers and Speakers.

A gentleman who has paid consider
able attention to the human voice con-
tends that hair around the mouth tends
to impair the utterance in song and
speech. The sounds are broken or
muffied as they are projected from the
mouth. Most of the famous lawyers,
ministers, and parliamentary orators
have been clean shaven. Among these
may be mentioned Lord Mansfield, of
whom Junirls said that he considered
him the most dangerous man in En-
gland, because the most talented;

other minister looks as fierce in the

ready to draw saber for an onslaught.
Foreign singers, to a man, are hairy
about the mouth. Americans as well
as British have copied the men of the
continent of Europe in the matter of
hair about the mouth during the past
fifty years; before that a bearded Am
erican or Britisher WAS rarely seen.
Now almost every one who can raise a
beard has one. 1t is not known wheth-
er Demosthenes or Cicero wore boards,
but we suppose Peter the Hermit, who
preached the first crusade, and Walter
the Pennyless, were bearded, because
they could not spare time to shave

correspondent, i'll the person of Mrs
Clement c.. Clay, who before the war.
as the wife of the senator from Ala

on President Lincoln's assassination
100000 reward was offered for Mr.
Clay, who was suspected Of completely
in that dark deed. Mrs. Clay accident

to Gov. Hills house, where she and hel
husband were guests. His friends trieC
to persuade him to fly or conceal him

to that effect. Mrs. Clay accompanied
him thither. Later with Mr.. Clay
jefferson Davis, and his wife and baby,
she made what must have been terri

parted with their husbands they
feared, forever.
This event, as Mrs. Clay describes it
is one of the most tragic things / evel
